Part of WQXR Instrument Drive.

Thank you for your support of the WQXR Instrument Drive.  Since 2014, the drive has collected more than 6,000 instruments which are now being used by public school and community music and art programs throughout New York City and New Jersey.

While we are no longer collecting or distributing instruments, we hope that you will consider donating any instruments you no longer use to a music program in your community.

For more information about the programs at WQXR, please sign up for our newsletter.
